Five of Pentacles

This card deals with hard times, ill health and rejection. The figures on the card are dejected, life has been hard on them. They are cold, hungry, sick and poor.

Yet they stand outside what looks like a church. Do they choose to ignore it? Are they so wrapped up in their own misery that they cannot see the sanctuary right next to them? People can get used to anything.

Yet, there is no door. The church is shut to them, it has failed them.

In a reading this may allude to a situation where outside help is either not available to us, or of little use. We have to soldier on, alone, and deal with the problems ourselves

Reversed, they do not survive. The situation has collapsed. Yet, this may offer a way out. Sometimes a catastrophic event opens a new door, shows a better way forward.
